Hotels With Bars in Penang, Malaysia

Our regular hotel whenever we visit Penang. Hotel is clean and just beside New Lane Night Market (except Wednesday). The only downside is the swimming pool comes with lots of crows and pigeons. Hope the hotel management can set up some netting or so to prevent the birds from coming to the pool. Anyway thanks everyone. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

My second day at Crowne Plaza Penang Straits City was just as enjoyable as the first. The hotel’s modern design and new, upscale feel make it a great place to relax. The room remains clean, spacious, and comfortable, with all the amenities I need. The service continues to impress—friendly, efficient, and professional. The location is also convenient, making it easy to explore the area. Loving the fresh and contemporary vibe of this hotel. Definitely a solid choice for a new and modern stay in Penang!

Overall, I had a wonderful stay at Gurney Bay Hotel. The bed was super comfortable, and the room was spacious and cosy—plenty of room to relax. They provided lots of amenities too, so all I really needed to bring were my clothes! However, I found that most of the food lacked strong flavours. I’m guessing the hotel might be going for a healthy concept, or perhaps trying to suit international palates. But as a Malaysian who loves bold spices and a good kick of salt, the food didn’t quite hit the mark. For example, the nasi lemak tasted more like plain rice—missing that creamy, rich coconut flavour. Also, I have to mention—they might need to work on their rice game. It just wasn’t soft enough, which made the dining experience a bit less enjoyable.

Had a wonderful experience yet again at Ascott. We'll appointed rooms, lovely infinity pool and great accessibility make this a good choice. Above and beyond everything else, the service from Mr Yau was immaculate. Felt like a home away from home. Thank you Mr Yau!

Upon check-in, we were warmly welcomed with two delicious chocolate chip cookies, which was a lovely touch. The hotel offered stunning sea views, and there was a convenient walkway providing direct access to the beach. The breakfast buffet was impressive, featuring a wide selection of both local and international cuisines. The swimming pool was spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for children to enjoy. Overall, we had an exceptional stay and would highly recommend this hotel to families and beach lovers alike.

Was an impromptu trip for my boy who us on holiday. Traffic was good, tourist were minimum...the hotel was not busy during our stay. Which was great as we didn't have to struggle with check in etc. Pool was great, a bit deeper would be great. I wasn't fond of the pool with sand, but I guess it creates a beach effect...altho the beach was just like 15 meters away...from check in to housekeeping, all the staff were more than happy to assist. Thank you hard rock!!

The recent stay at Iconic Marjorie Hotel was amazing! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and memorable experience. The room was clean and comfortable, with a separate wet and dry area, elegant design, and thoughtful amenities such as plush bathrobes, toiletries, free mini bar, coffee machine, high-speed hair dryer, handheld steamer, and additional pillow options from the pillow menu. The hotel's beds were incredibly comfortable and guaranteed a good night's sleep. Free WiFi was available both in the hotel and in the rooms 🛜. Tiffin Hall, a unique Nyonya themed restaurant, was elegant and comfortable in an environment. The food was delicious. Senses Bar offers stunning views of the city skyline, and you can relax by the infinity pool and enjoy a refreshing drink by the pool bar to the relaxing beats. The staff was amazingly attentive and every request was met, making us feel at home during our stay. The room was also kept spotlessly clean by the housekeeping staff. A big thank you to all the staff for making our stay a memorable one, exceeding our expectations and combining luxury with genuine hospitality. I'm already planning my next stay and I would recommend this hotel to anyone considering a trip to Penang, whether you're travelling for business or leisure, highly recommend this hotel!

During this trip to Penang, I stayed at Dongjia, Murren, and Shangri-La. My favorite is Murren Autograph Collection. The hotel is owned by Marriott, with a very stylish design. The sea view room has a charming view, and it is great to soak in the bathtub and enjoy the sea view. The semi-buffet breakfast lobster meat omlette is very delicious, and during breakfast, the waiter also sent various snacks for the guests to taste. There are also two large full-length mirrors in the room, and the dressing table is also very stylish and practical. The staff are very friendly and satisfied! I will only choose to stay in this hotel when I go to Penang in the future.

Good location and it's nice place to stay. The staffs are very friendly, the room very clean, spacious & comfortable with excellent service. The parking is free and it easy to access from parking lot to room. Definitely will come again.

Quite a nice hotel. I arrived sharp at 3pm to check in, however my room was not ready. Mr Firdaus the receptionist was kind and well explained. And giving me a token was a plus point. Breakfast was good however do come before 8.30am as if you come late, the bright sunlight will disturb your breakfast.
